AIDS?!? Cha!!!

the first, introductory paragraphs are so stupid..
SCENE: a family of four(lets say H,W,S,D for Husband, Wife, Son and Daughter) are all set to watch "alive coffee with anu" on vijay tv (The special guests being Mrs & Mr.Vishwanath Anand). but as usual H and S watch the stupid cricket match on set max.
a snippet of their discussion:
(W and D are furious)
W: andha coffe with anu podungalen.. indha loose match la enna iruku nu ipdi rendu perum paakareenga?
D (to H) : appa adha vei pa.. indha mandhira bedi a unakku paakanuma??
W: adhula vishwanath anandh varaan, naa paakanum. andha ad laye avan nanna irundhan. avan shirt kooda amazing.
H: konja neram rendu perum vaaya moodrela. we want to see this match. adhula ad potundu irukaan.. paaru!
( H switches the channel to Vijay tv and sees anu talking to vishwanath anandh.. H and S ku ore bulb)
W: evlo chinna paiyan madhri irukkan paaru
(in tv..)
anu: neenga ippo UNAIDS ku ambassador a vera irukinga, so can you just explain us about your role in this moble cause? neenga paatheenga na eppo lam tv la AIDS pathi sonnalum, channel a change panniduvaanga....
anandh: definitely, i think its important to talk about it with your family.....
( H switches the channel to that stupid match again)
W: yen adha maathinel? adha vaingo..
D: vai appa...
( S as usual remains silent)
W: unga appa eppavum ipdi dhaan pannuva..
H ( furiously) : avan AIDS pathi solraan.. unakku adha paakanuma??
W: aama.. enakku paakanum..
H: naa vekka maaten..
( and the discussion goes on..)
SCENE ENDS
well.. this may be an inspiration from he-she of ferrari, but i'm sure this kind of incidents do happen in everyday life.
what do you think about H.. male chauvinism, ignorance, shyness?.... I call it stupidity.
I really appreciated the move by Vijay tv for inviting anandh and to talk about this social cause.
i feel it is very important for people to talk about it. Especially with the growing HIV+ people in this country.. why don't people grow up?
Famous personalities are roped in as ambassadors for people to listen to them on important issues. But if this is the kind of attitude among people, then all the efforts taken up by these organisations are an absolute waste..

@mythreyi
poat?? u mean post!! thank you

@sriram
its not the quest of watching anuhasan or lara.. its abt the ignorance to important issues.
maybe u know in and out abt the issue, but there are so many others who don't.. rather don't want to know abt it!!
